Filipina whoes husband is dying in the UK

[mickcant]

Hi Mick
I think her entitlement to the UK state pension may be reduced or even non existent because given that they went to live in Phils in 1984, I don't think she will have paid anywhere near enough NI contributions to qualify...... well definately not for the full amount.

Thanks Pete and Iain, I think I had better confirm the dates with her and get back to you on the time they lived in the Philippines, I have tried to explain it would be best not to hurry too much with her plans but to get her finances sorted first, I know her husband handled all the finances and hopefully he has left her provided for, as a new friend I do not think it my place to advise on somthing I know little about, but do want to help her where I can.
